WANT TO BE A

Stop Worrying and Start

If you’re losing sleep at night worrying about your kid’s safety, you’re NOT alone.

Hi there! I’m CJ Scarlet, danger expert, award-winning author, and THE Badass Grandma, and I’m here to assure you that the world isn’t nearly as dangerous as the media makes it sound. Yes, there are predators out there you need to watch for, but you—and your child—have more power to protect them than you may think.

Throughout your darling’s childhood, they’re going to encounter tons of people, most of whom you know fairly well—at daycare or school, on play dates, at events, in your own home—and unfortunately, any one of them could be a predator. 

Besides the fact that it’s impossible to keep your child in your sight every moment of every day, it’s not healthy for you or them. Your child’s best bet to stay safe is for you to teach them what they need to know about defending themselves when you’re not around.

Why It’s So Important to Parent Up

According to Edmund Burke, the only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good parents to do nothing to teach their kids how to protect themselves from a-hole predators. 

OK, so that’s not exactly what Burke said, but you get my point.

Research shows that children who are taught to protect and defend themselves—by doing things like yelling, running away, saying “no,” or fighting—are less attractive to predators and stand a significantly greater chance of avoiding and escaping an abusive situation or potential abduction.

Educating yourself and your child is incredibly liberating. The positive seeds you plant in their mind today will blossom into positive behaviors that will serve them throughout their life.

Rather than worrying about nebulous dangers, you’ll know the facts. Once you teach your child about my tips for staying safe, you’ll sleep better at night knowing you’ve raised a little baby badass who can defend themself.
